Thank you for your generosity in publishing "Carolina Cowboys: A piece of U.S. history." The feature article about the Carolina Cowboys riding club written by Ms. Kelly Champlin is wonderful. We appreciate her coverage of our story and activities as well as the information about the African American cowboys' history.As Ms. Champlin interviewed members of our riding club, we were impressed with her sincere interest and professionalism. We have received many congratulatory phone calls. Coverage of such community activities promotes pride in our county.The charter members of the club envisioned a service organization that would teach as well as entertain. Ms. Champlin's article captured that ideal. A framed copy of the article will be dedicated to two deceased members, July Terry, who owned several horses and mules, and David Mitchell who rode his horse, Patches, famous for his dance routines.One of our greatest supporters is Mayor Bronco Bostick. He has expressed his appreciation for the work we do in the community. Much of his agenda as Mayor of Hardeeville is concerned with the development of the youth, and he is pleased that we share his concern. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to the trail rides on March 9 and 10. There will be some activities designed for youngsters.Again, thank you for your interest in the Carolina Cowboys riding club.

Sincerely yours,William (Butch) Clark, PresidentCarolina Cowboys
